DETAILS

Have you ever been curious about other religions? As part of Tri-Faith’s mission to “cultivate inclusive environments to advance interfaith relationships and understanding,” this course seeks to advance interfaith understanding by teaching about some of the faiths and religions of the world. The course begins with an introductory session about the religious studies approaches used for the course, as well as discussing different definitions for “religion.” The course will then spend two sessions each on the following religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (future versions of this course will interchange some of these for other religions such as Jainism, Shintoism, Taoism, Confucianism, Sikhism, etc.). Topics will include information about the population size and geographical concentrations of these various religions, an introduction to some of the core tenets of each religion, an overview of some of the major sacred writings and scriptures within the religion, a brief introduction to key and/or foundational figures within each religion, a timeline and historical overview of major events and people within the history of each religion, and an overview of some of the major branches within the religion.
